| Summary: | The article argues for missional masculinities from an incarnational framework as the foundation for imitatio Christi among Pentecostal men in Africa. It suggests that since masculinities are defined by societal ideals that men are expected to embody, Pentecostal men should reclaim the divine vision of the new ‘manity’ in Christ. Here, Christ serves not only as the epitome of new humanity but also as the exemplar, setting the standard and modeling what it means to be human. Jesus is the primordial model, the definition, the determination, the illustration, and most importantly, the beginning and the end of what it means to be human. Therefore, missional masculinities, modeled after Christ, are primed to exhibit kenotic, relational, agapeic, redemptive characteristics, and are everyday prophetic performances of abundant life for humanity and creation. 本文主张将“宣教性男性气质”作为一个关于社会关系的具体化框架，用于非洲的五旬节教会男性。文章认为，由于男性气质指的是一个男人在社会中应该实现的特定理想，五旬节教会男性应当重新拥抱基督中新“人性”的神圣愿景，在其中基督不仅是新的人性，也是典范性的人类人类的起点和终点。这些男性气质是圣爱、高贵、具有救赎性的转化表达，用于人类和被造的繁荣兴旺。文章证明了宣教性男性气质是基督性的表达、道成肉身的参与、并受到圣灵的赋能。它们是朝向他人的，并且对于嵌入圣经想象中的日常救赎生活至关重要。此外，它们响应当代存在挑战，并试图通过持续地对世界的人类回应来阐明继续基督的道成肉身的可能性。— |
